[Liberty Star]

A legal earthquake took place in UK yesterday.

If British findings are right, private body parts of an innocent suspected man were cut in CIA renditioned torture prison?

This affair is turning uglier:


Were MI5 agents present at Battersea Guantanamo man's torture?

Thursday 11th February 2010

By Paul Cahalan


Secret files that could prove MI5 agents were present during the torture of a British resident held by the US in Guantanamo Bay have been seen by his lawyer, who said "nothing in those documents has changed my mind".

Brent Mickum said the files reinforced accusations Shaker Aamer, the last Guantanamo detainee to be recognised by the UK, was tortured in Afghanistan and confessions he made were obtained under duress.

On Saturday, the Save Shaker Aamer Campaign, which, along with and Mr Mickum, accuses the UK Government of not pressing for Mr Aamer's release, held a demonstration outside Downing Street to mark the eighth anniversary of his detention in the notorious camp.

Mr Mickum said his client was effectively being gagged to cover up “wrong doing” - claims strengthened by an article that said US government officials may have conspired to conceal evidence three Guantanamo detainees could have been murdered during interrogation, he said.

Harper’s Magazine said three deaths, which were presented as suicides by hanging, could have been suffocations.
